This is a hands-on experience in basic image analysis, conducted by Core Co-Director, Sushmita Mukherjee. For the most part, we will use NIH ImageJ/Fiji for these clinics.

Participants are invited to bring microscopic images they would like to analyze. We will choose one or two examples per session, and try to develop an imaging strategy during the session. If necessary, Dr. Mukherjee will follow up with the person after the clinic for additional tweaking, use of other software, etc.

This class is designed to familiarize potential users with the Zeiss 880 confocal microscope and the ZEN software. Topics covered also include basic optics concepts such as wide field vs confocal imaging, resolution, resolution vs detection, the role of wavelength and/or lens choice on resolution and imaging, standard vs GaAsP (high-sensitivity) detectors.

These lectures are held once a month, given mostly by Core Co-Director, Lee Cohen-Gould.

WHEN: Third Wednesday of the month

WHAT TIME: 2-4 pm

WHERE: A106, 1300 York Avenue

Didactic lectures on microscopy and image analysis

These lectures are held once a month, given mostly by Core Co-Director, Sushmita Mukherjee. Occasionally, we have guest lecturers.
